At a substantive session of the United Nations’ (UN) General Assembly ad hoc working group on the Global Pact for the Environment in Nairobi, Kenya, ICC laid out its plans to work with governments to fill gaps in international environmental law.

Addressing the General Assembly working group, ICC Government Affairs Manager Raoul Renard said: “We wish to thank you for the opportunity you have given business and other non-Party stakeholders to engage in this process. We firmly believe that inclusive multilateralism is needed to achieve our shared sustainable development goals, including in relation to the environment.”

Mr Renard outlined four ways that ICC is looking to work with governments in this context:

Providing the business sector perspective as to the nature and content of a Global Pact

Contributing to a clear, predictable and coherent legal and policy framework

Accelerating ambition in both raising environmental standards and norms and strengthening their implementation
